Hybridising Industrial Heat to Cut Emissions & Boost Competitiveness

Years : 2025
Scope : Steel Manufacturer Site Type: Reheating Furnace Facility

From fossil fuel to flexible heat: engineering the low-carbon transformation of steel production

With mounting pressure to decarbonise heavy industry, steel manufacturers are exploring cleaner, more resilient alternatives to natural gas. This project focuses on hybridising a gas-based reheating furnace to reduce emissions while improving cost control and flexibility.

Client needs

  • Reduce Scope 1 & 2 CO₂ emissions by 40% by 2030

  • Enhance cost competitiveness through energy flexibility

  • Increase resilience to energy price volatility
